Psalm 29: The Voice of the Lord

$0.00

Psalm 29 paints a picture of God and nature intertwined. But more than simply embodying God in the thunder and lightning, the psalm shows the world to be God’s very temple. God’s presence makes the earth, and all the ordinary stuff of life, sacred.

1. The voice of the Lord is on the waters.
The voice of the Lord moves o’er the deep.
The voice of the Lord resounds through the sky;
thunders across the sea.

Ascribe to the Lord, all you creatures of heaven,
ascribe to the Lord all the glory and might.
Ascribe to the Lord all the splendor of his name
and worship the Lord on high.

2. The voice of the Lord is filled with power.
The forests fall down before their King.
The voice of the Lord, the fiercest of joys,
making the mountains leap. Chorus

3. The voice of the Lord is like the lightning;
it flashes across the desert sky.
The earth has become the temple of God.
“Glory!” the people cry. Chorus

4. The Lord is enthroned above the water.
The Lord is enthroned upon the sky.
The voice of the Lord, it hallows the earth;
blesses all humankind. Chorus
